Nah just the $65 to enter but that fee also used to cover one passenger for "pit crew". Not any more though. Now they have to pay their own entry on top.

Oh I see. Small price to pay anyway. Im used to throwing away nearly a k for a drift event. I'll even have cash left over for after calder kebabs!

Calder is still the same old... Lucky if you get 3 runs on a Friday night etc.

If I were all of you, I'd be finding out if you can attend the below event... WRX Club have a drag night on the 8th, Sat night:

They have hired the circuit for the Sat Day time so likely have just rented out the place for the evening also.

You'll likely get closer to double the amount of runs, if not more, given Calder pack as many cars as they can into a Fri night to pocket as much cash as possible. Probably less track time loss as well with shitboxes etc.

heya mate should have come and said hello! was yours the white gtt?

best et i got was 12.4 and mph was 120. Had no traction off the line unfortunately.. Time to buy stock rear suspension and et streets

yeh mate :). I had the same problem.. running stock rims on the rear with shit 225 tyres, no traction :/ could only manage a 14.1.. packed it in after 5 runs. need to invest in some radials. 275rwkw for a 14.1 was embarrassing lol

60' was 2.5s

14.1 @ 110mph

Did you lift off before the end?

110mph is about 220rwkw, not 280, fairly big gap there!

Didn't lift off just found it hard to find traction.. first time running the car thought stock rims with new tyres would suffice but soon found out wheel spin everywhere, didn't get one decent launch and was only launching at 3-4k rpm.. Best run was no launch at all. Stock rims are too narrow and even though the tyres are new they are some shit Chinese tyres

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
